I think what we should be targetting is not the closure itself but the fact thaat its on a "third-party" key. Many years ago BW responded to security problems on the visitor moorings by Islington Tunnel by providing gates at bothe ends that were closed overnight on a BW key. This was generally welcomed by boaters in the area. As for the NWF, I doubt whther one further bit of seurity fencing will add very much to the barrage of day-security and night-security fences that the NWF seems to need.
